Commercial Description:
Fast on the heels of our fantasticly reformulated Hops Infusion, our brewers have picked up the gauntlet and brewed a Double IPA using exclusively Simcoe(R) Hops! This west coast Hops was created in 2000 by Select Botanicals, Inc. and carries a fantastic flavor profile abounding with citrusy-grapefruit, piney, resiny notes that pushes this Double IPA over the top. 9.0% ABV in the brew gives it a nice malt foundation as well. Draft and bottles, 12 oz. in PA, 22 oz. out of state (as we have no 6-packs),

Hazy orangey-golden. Drool...deep rich orangey, yuzu-y simcoe nose. I like that. Rich, resiny, orangey...just some good clean IPA fun. Solid pale malt underpinning is perfect. Slightly sticky finish.

A great double ipa. Heavy malt with citrus and hoppy flavor. Definitely a beer worth ordering as much as possible.

Bottle courtesy of jsquire at Fort Wayne Winter Gathering. Small head that mostly diminished, spotty lacing, hazy, no carbonation observed, and an orangish hue. Nose was hoppy, citrus, grapefruit, and caramel. Ditto for the flavor. Smooth mouthfeel and light-medium in body.Quaffable for the style and not over-the-top hops IMO.Would drink again and worthy of a try.

Pours copper with a minimal white head. Aroma of flora, citrus, pine and sweet malt. Sweet malt and hops present right up front, with a big bitter kick. Finishes a citrusy grapefruit. Very nice IPA,

650 ml bottle, RBNAG07. Amber colour. Lots of very small particles floating. Hazy. Rich apricoty aroma. Smooth texture. Sweetish rich malts. Apricoty sweet malts. Strong sharp hops aroma. Full-bodied. Lots of hops in the finish that ends up with a sharp lingering hop bitterness.

Fantastic beer! It’s all about the hops. Good initial taste, with a strong hop follow-up. If you are a true hophead, you need to try this beer! The simcoe hop is the key here. To me, this is a special, special hop, and it is really showcased here.

Bottle as a gift courtesy of GMCC2181. Pours a cloudy amber with an initial 1 finger head that dissipates into a foamy top layer lacing my glass nicely. Nose is pineapple, pine and malt. Palate is pineapple and caramel malt up front with pine and bitter hop finish. Creamy mouth feel. Alcohol is nicely hidden at the 9% abv. I liked this a lot. Thanks again Gabe!

Pours a copper color with a quickly receding white head. Awesome aroma, tons of pine and some hints of citrus. Love the texture of this beer too. Flavor is piney hops with a hint of vanilla towards the end. Nice bitterness. Good beer.
